TOPIC: cash lup sum from pesion pot

Hello, desperate for advice or where to look for info please. I get ESA contribution based only and am in the support group . I am planning on taking a lump sum as a one off payment from my pension pot. Will it be treated as a weekly payment and therefor reduce my ESA, (EXCESS OVER £85) or will it be disregarded ? thank you

Thank you so much. I received this and didn't tell the DWP as I didn't think it affected it but now I am being called in for a compliance interview and i can't think of any other reason for why they would want to see me., cheers
